The Real in the sense you were using it earlier doesn't really have to do with material reality and, looked at that way, it seems like James Ferraro's work approaches (although obviously does not enter) the Real (although I like the idea of the Real of the Virtual).

I can find stuff like that and Vektroid pleasing to listen to, but I still don't get hit with the same conceptual complexion that a lot of Ferraro's earlier stuff does. Like, and this may sound stupid as hell, I feel like James' stuff alternately feels like falling in and out of sleep with Videodrome playing on television, but also late night infomercials. Again, musically VHS Logos and Vektroid interest me, but not in the deeper way that JF's stuff does.

Hey oiseaux, who was that Russian comic artist with a Spanish name you linked to at one point in a different thread? EDIT: Here's another trailer for NYC, Hell 3 AM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_sC8SAduXY Mike_V fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Jul 17, 2013 |

I really like the production, but I still don't think JF is hitting the right buttons with his vocals. He needs to do something more with them if he's going to properly invoke an R&B aesthetic.

I just finished listening to the OPN album and it's everything I wanted it to be. That organ at the end was a perfect way to cap off the album. I also liked the first couple tracks of the album, what did you find weak about them?

In love with that video. I'm surprised they didn't incorporate that Russian pixel artist with the Spanish name into it, though, would've really fit that hentai game (?) aesthetic. EDIT: Did they add that monologue just for the video? I really like it with the instrumental. Mike_V fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Sep 26, 2013 |

Lord Krangdar posted:The thing is, the obscurity of the images is not really the impressive part of the video. Yeah, I don't really buy the backlash or whatever. Sure it was sort of lovely not to give an acknowledgement to the dude who curates those images (and they are really cool, I'd like to use some of them in my own pieces), but it's the construction of a pseudo-narrative and the juxtaposition of images that creates something new, exciting, and horrifying.

Hugmonster VIII posted:회사AUTO has been pretty busy - he's put out an EP a few weeks ago and is already preparing his next album (full disclosure: I'm a friend of his and have heard an early version of it and it's great). This track from that EP he put out sticks out to me mainly because it's pretty great. Great great great. I can't stop saying great. I figure I'll link this here cause I saw him mentioned a few times early on in the thread, but there hasn't been much discussion of him in a while. I don't know. The track is fine, but I don't get the same didactic rush I do from OPN/Jimmy Ferraro. I think this guy is doing something fundamentally different (and less interesting) than what the other bros are.

I don't know if this is part of your program's curriculum, but you should probably read Simulacra and Simulation by Baudrillard and Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism by Fredric Jameson if you want a stronger theoretical lens through which to understand some of these works.

Four-Twenty posted:Welcome to ClearSkies™ I forgot to check this out when it came out, so thanks. While I think vektroid plays it a bit too straight when going for that 90s desktop computing aesthetic as opposed to James Ferraro, I still enjoy this release simply because it is really straight, if that makes sense.

This was probably covered in this thread somewhere in the form of a link, but there's been so much that I never got to all of it. Anyways, what's some stuff that's similar to Heaven's Gate-era Ferraro? Stellar Om Source's Heartlands Suite was pretty close, but I'm looking for unrepentant new age drone stuff.

I don't really get the significance of that track, no offense. Sounds pretty standard to me. Anyways, Dolphins Into The Future is almost exactly what I wanted, so thanks for that and the other recs (which I'll get to at some point in the coming weeks)!

I was trying to think of what the new age drone stuff reminded me of and I finally remembered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD2ggMnjgbg I wanna see someone channel this (or maybe Ferraro and Lopatin have to some extent).

I asked about new age like a couple weeks ago and then I found this: http://lightintheattic.net/releases/943-i-am-the-center-private-issue-new-age-music-in-america-1950-1990 Cool stuff. Also, there's another new JF track out that is weird: https://soundcloud.com/b-e-b-e-t-u-n-e/pt-1 I don't necessarily feel it that much, but it's not bad.

Frankly, a lack of a grand narrative (so to speak) seems intrinsic to this type of music and I enjoy it because of that. The text is created an infinite number of times and all of that. I always get a sense of playfulness from R+7, especially the baroque organs that he almost bookends the LP with.

While I'm sure many people won't like this track (I dig it because I like really bombastic stuff, similar to the way I like Japanese jazz-fusion with excessive use of EWI), I think the video is really cool: http://vimeo.com/82437787

Bigup DJ posted:I never got why anyone cared about that. I mean Smog from ECO VIRTUAL is just the intro to a Sade song looped twice, but who cares? It sounds good and it works with the aesthetic described by the album and its own title. I don't really remember exactly what I meant, but I imagine it was something along these lines: James Ferraro and Lopatin (in different ways from one another) reveal through their music (either consciously or not, I don't think authorial intent is particularly relevant) statements or representations of the ineffability of this insane schizophrenic, late capitalist, late modernity age that we are currently living in. More than most of the interesting and pleasant sounding stuff that ultimately has nothing to say (INTERNET CLUB, etc), these two artists' work penetrate the fog that impedes my attempt to understand contemporary culture in the gestalt. In ways that oiseaux has said more eloquently, I can listen to this music and say "Yes, this is tapping directly into whatever is going on in the culture of globalization." This probably will not make sense in the morning, but I feel like this is a significant part of a culture developed around schizophrenic capitalism.

Stravinsky posted:I kind of skipped around a bit because I haven't had time but it really sounds pretty similar to her past stuff. lol I finally read the press release about the album that had Slackk and some others heated on Twitter. Pretty terrible press release, hopefully Kode9 or Scratcha didn't have anything to do with it. Looking forward to checking out the album, though.
